Millésime 2007

Wine Advocate #193 - Feb 2011

Score : (97-99)

The 2007 Cote Rotie La Turque is more masculine, dense and full-bodied, offering up notes of charcoal, truffles, asphalt, blackberries and hints of roasted meats, new oak and earth. Powerful and rich with silky tannins as well as a muscular style, it tastes as if it came from a completely different appellation. Robert Parker.

Very distinctive, with ganache and espresso aromas and well-structured layers of blackberry, mulled plum, roasted spice, anise and charred apple wood. This has ample grip, but stays polished and integrated, allowing for an almost caressing mouthfeel despite its obvious density. One of the most concentrated wines in the vintage. Best from 2012 through 2025. 400 cases made. Designation: Collectibles. James Molesworth.

Score : 93-96

Bright purple-red color. Intensely floral bouquet displays spicy red berries, violet, rose and minerals, with a touch of singed orange lending an exotic character. Livelier and more feminine than the Mouline today, with tangy red berry and cherry flavors and a late note of candied flowers. The spicy note comes back on the finish, which is impressively fresh and incisive. Josh Raynolds.

Score : 93-95

Inky ruby. A sexy, intensely perfumed bouquet displays cherry compote, black raspberry, cola, potpourri and singed orange. Juicy, focused and spicy, offering red and dark berry flavors and a touch of smokiness. A bitter licorice note lingers on the strikingly long, sappy, yet refreshingly brisk finish. Josh Raynolds.

Bouche splendide, avec des tanins très racés, beaucoup de densité et de chair, une finale éclatante, pure et fraîche.
